The untime ly eath which annually carries

good natured captain, who says: Would
you like to go down with me, inspect

the engine compartment. 4 bunch of
cotton waste is placed in each hand rs n
protection against the omnipresent oil.
Carefully we descend the iron stairs. keep
ing firm hold OF the balustratle, lest a
sudden lurch Of the ship should precipi-
tate us among the great levers and crauks
that weave with relentless speed. Like
the huge monsters of nj niSltmare, they
would grind their teeth and tear their vic

the piston cold shower bath thrown
upon the hearings prevents the masses Of

Through dim alley in the hold runs
the steel shaft, extending from engine to
screw. each of whose sixty revolutions a
minute drives the enormous IRON ship near

side room are the dynamos for electric

tributed throughout the ship.

Cancel bx shaking Hands.

In speaking with an Old army officer on
the subject Of the frequent Indian out.
breaks within the past few Years, he aG-
yanced a singular theory, which, to his
mind, at least. accounted satisfactorily
for much that has heretofore seemed in
eyplicable Said my friend: In old
times, when il was necessary to prove the
assent TO "A written contract Of persons
who could neither read nor write. this
was done by afliNing their seals. When
the Indian makes IA contract ne does 50 by
word Of mouth, sealing the contract with
that solemnity which, To n rc,iskin, means
all things-he shakes hands upon il. This
is custom with the Indian which is re-
served exclusively to ratify his contract,
and never, as with us, in sIlutaIion.
''Whcn an occasion Of importance de-
mands that the chiefs shall come to Wash
ington, before starting they represent To
their tribes the business in hand, and state
that they will go and see the Great Father,
with whom they will enter into treaty.
Arrived in Washington, an interpreter
presents their case TO the president, who,
in good will to show that lA is not above
giving kind reception 10 the humblest
man In the country, advances and pruffers
his hand. The chiefs are delighted. and
return to their tribes, setting forth that
the Great Father has acGeded TO their
wishes, because, after hearing The case, he
shook hands with them. If, after the eX
ecution Of a contract in the presence Of
witnesses subsequently sworn To and re-
corded, We should then break it SO that a
suit in court would be the only remedy to
the party injured thereby, the situation
would not be more serious here, while the
president shakes hands with an Indian
who afterward does not get or enjoy what
h. understood would be given by that act
of handshakinc. All of which goes to
prove, in conclusion. that the president
should never shake hands with an In
dian. .'-Washington Letter.

William Thomas spear, Republican
nominee for supreme judge, was born in
Warren, O.. .Tune ;. 1893. He learned
the printers trade. and worked for sew
eral years at it. After several years of
hard work at this trade young Spear read
law under Hon. Jacob d. Cox.
Admitted to the bar in 1859, he was
soon taken into the firm of Cox & Ratliff.
where he continued until the vicissitudes
of the war interrupted this relation, both
of those gentlemeG having entered the
army. and being absent with their re-
spective commands in the field.
From 1864 to lS6. Attorney Spear lived
In Louisiana. spending most of his time
in New Orleans. engaged in the practice
of his profession and other business.
Returning 10 Warren in 1867, he
was for time associated in a law
partnership with Hon. John Hutch
ins and his son, John &. Hutchins.
In 1871 Mr.. Spear was elected prosecut-
ing attorney. serving two terms. and for
two terms he was the city's solicitor In
1876 he became associated in law part.

which was terminated by the election of
DIR. Spear TO the common pleas bench. In
1865 there was vacancy on the common
pleas bench, and Portage and Mahoning
each had candidates. The friends of Mr.
Spear, however. urged his fitness so
strongly that although Trumbull county
then had Judge Taylor in judicial Office,
Spear was elected to the judgship, and
in 1883 he was reelected He has been
on the supreme bench since 1885.
OF Judge Spears many admirable quail
fties the one which has most contributed
TO his advancement is painstaking. No
honorable thing which has come in his
way to he done has been too insignificant
to be done well. In his own affairs and
in those of others every detail has been
watched, and every harmful contingent
thought out and guarded against. and the
most iaborious part of this painstaking
has been that which he has given to his
judicial work.
